Tricks

Backwards crawling, reverse crawling, back scooting, I'm not quite sure what to call it, but Colt has mastered it and it's one of his first tricks! Okay maybe that is a "dog term" but this is the girl who called a teething toy a chew toy at her baby shower..oopsy, and a onesie a one piece...oopsy again. It's my first okay...AND I have had a doggy baby and am adjusting, I think I'm fully adjusted now..hopefully, that could get embarrassing.

Okay, back to Colt... Every time I put him on his mat now he works his way, within a minute or so (he works fast) completely off of the mat! Like this...

(Notice John's dress shirts in the background? I attempted to not just iron them, but IRON them. You know, like how the dry cleaners do it. So I googled "How to iron a dress shirt" and watched a "how to" video. Voila! I did it and they turned out great! But I'll leave out the part that it took me all day. And maybe I should have left out the part that I googled it...is that embarrassing?)

Okay back on track.

And once again like this...

It really just makes me laugh every time.

Colt hasn't mastered the art of rolling over yet, or done it at all for that matter. He doesn't really like being on his stomach. My happy baby Colt only lasts a few minutes before "Mini Hulk" comes out. So he kinda, sorta started to look a little like he wanted to roll over. (Prime picture taking time) I jumped up, grabbed the camera and.................He lifted his arm. (Yay, what a proud mom I was)

I started snapping away and none of the pictures seemed to have captured this amazing, exciting, grandiose little "milestone" of almost rolling over. Okay more like teeny, tiny barely, almost rolling over.
(notice the left hand behind preparing for the roll arm lift)

Yes. I was proud! Then Peach got jealous and wanted to be captured in this moment.

(Don't worry she got groomed the next day and can see now)

And another one of Peach's jealous rages.

Do not fret. Colt doesn't take pacifiers, and apparently Peach LOVES this one, so we put it to good use, and made a dog happy.

As much as we are loving Colt growing and doing all of these new things (smiling, laughing, attempting to roll over) it is a little nerve racking to see how fast he is growing! It definitely is a bittersweet situation.
